Topic: Don’t Let Your Mind Get In The Way [TREM Devotional 30 November 2018]

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 KJV

Many times, divine instructions don’t make sense. Consequently, many of us have missed out on God’s purpose for us because every time we let our minds get in the way. We want to understand everything before we take a step and God doesn’t function that way. You can’t understand everything. If you understand everything, then you don’t need Him. God wants you to lean on Him every step of the way.

How can a poor widow woman feed the man of God, when all she had was just for her and her son? She didn’t understand it but she obeyed and she experienced the supernatural. My prayer is that you don’t let your mind get in the way because you must tap into the abundance that God has for you.

I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that there is a brother somewhere, there is a sister somewhere; there is somebody somewhere in another part of the world that God is going to link you up with. You are going to be a channel of the flow of His abundance. You will just sit in your house and people will ask you how did it happen and you will say I can’t explain. If there is a time to obey God, this is the time.

The widow woman in 1 Kings 17 was making plans to die and not to live at all. “I am gathering two sticks”(v.12 KJV) to cook the last little meal. She had a scarcity mentality not an abundance mentality. Famine had so much affected her mind set that she did not think of the bigness of our God. My prayer is that God will blow your mind out of small mentality. You are bigger than you think! Your body is limiting you. I don’t care whether you are short, tall or big. You are bigger than your physical frame. Eternity is inside you.

Topic: God Still Answers Prayers [DCLM Daily Manna 30 November 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Genesis 25:12-26 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived“ (Genesis 25:21).

MESSAGE:

In his book “Shaping History Through Prayer And Fasting”, Derek Prince tells how his prayer and fasting changed the course of war in favour of the Allied Forces during the Second World War. He also told how he and his Jewish wife stood in for Israel in 1948 when the Syrians wanted to overrun them as they returned home to become a sovereign nation once again.

In our text, we see the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son from Hagar and his twelve princes, as God had promised Abraham. Also, we see Isaac intercede for his wife who had been barren for years and God’s answer by giving them twin children struggling in their mother’s womb.

God did not promise His children a trouble-free life, but assures of His help in times of need.

Saints in Bible days like Abraham, Samuel, David, Jehoshaphat, Elijah, Daniel, Hannah, Esther and so on had become conquerors through fervent and consistent prayer. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, prayed exceedingly during His earthly ministry and taught His followers “that men ought always to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1). George Muller who established an orphanage in Bristol that catered for young people “determined that the children will be provided with everything they needed by prayer and faith without making an appeal to anyone for money but God”. The number of the children grew to over 2,000 at a point, and he took care of them without any standing income as he depended only on God in prayer.

As the end gets nearer, there is no better time to pray than now. Pray without ceasing.

Thought For The Day: Unceasing prayer connects the believer to the invincible power of God.

Bible Reading In One Year: 1 Corinthians 5-8

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 30 November 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – The Backbone of God’s Promises

TOPIC: The Backbone of God’s Promises (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 30 November 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 50:24-25

MEMORY VERSE: “And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.” – Exodus 13:19

The MESSAGE:

Good promised to visit the children of Israel in their bondage in the land of Egypt. He gave the promise to Joseph in Genesis 50:24-25. In Exodus 13:19, the promise was fulfilled and Moses took along the remains (bones) of Joseph in keeping Joseph’s death wish. In Joshua 24:32, Joseph’s bones were buried at Shechem in the land Jacob bought, and it became an inheritance to his descendants. Joseph had made his children promise that when God releases them from the slavery in Egypt into the Promised Land, they would take his remains (bones) with them. It is important to note here that despite all odds in form of wandering, afflictions, deaths, murmurings and disobedience in the wilderness even the battles lost and won, the bones of Joseph kept moving with them. I want to believe that Joshua’s and Caleb’s faith was very strong because of their knowledge that no matter what, the bones (remains) of Joseph must get to the Promised Land.

The bones of a great prophet kept their faith alive throughout the journey.

Beloved, to every promise of God to man, there is always a “bone” to back it up. When the backbone is neglected or discarded, the promises may not be able to stand or see the light of the day. Those who understood the importance of the prophetic bones and knew that the bones must get to the Promised Land did not mind the giants, the hunger and the thirst. God speaks His promises to us in many ways: through His word, dreams, vision, prophesy, gifts of Holy Ghost, etc. These promises have to do with our needs, such as in marriage, wealth and finance, education, health, salvation, success, breakthrough, fruit of the womb, good jobs, etc. These are our Promised Lands as spiritual Israelites.

To get there, however, and for these to manifest physically in our lives, there are prophetic bones or spiritual backbones we must carry along. When they are neglected, there will not be manifestations, but when they are acknowledged and carried along, there must be results. Some of the spiritual backbones are: bones of witnessing, bones of covenants, bones of perseverance, bones of hope, bones of faith, bones of confidence, bones of obedience, bones of service, bones of the word of God, bones of agonising prayers, etc. You have a role to play; you need to carry the bones along. Between the Promised Land and the manifestation is the bones carriage. They will go with you to the Promised Land and end their jobs there. Are you expecting manifestation of a promise? You need to carry the bones. “And he shall serve the Lord your God and he shall bless thy bread…” We need the bones of service so as to be blessed.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
WHEN A CHRISTIAN SHUNS FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS, THE DEVIL SMILES; WHEN HE STOPS READING THE BIBLE, THE DEVIL LAUGHS AND WHEN HE STOPS PRAYING, THE DEVIL SHOUTS FOR JOY.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Your backbone of prayers shall not be paralysed and your paralysed spiritual backbones shall come alive.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. I deprogramme and cancel all witchcraft prophecies, by the power in the blood of Jesus.
2. Anointing that made Joseph succeed in a strange land, come upon my life now, in the name of Jesus.
3. Every power delaying God’s promises for my life, die, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. Promises of God concerning my life, be catalysed into manifestation, in the name of Jesus.
5. Backbones of God’s promises for my life, receive divine strength and come alive, in the name of Jesus.
6. All promises of God for my life that my destiny is waiting for, manifest by fire, in the name of Jesus.
7. Anything I have lost due to my lack of faith, be restored by fire, in the name of Jesus.
